It means 6.06 still has VLAR-related bug. And ARs that affected span from really low values to ~0.1

I used to get batches of 10 that would all fail after 17 seconds. I tried resetting the project and it seems to work again. It doesn't even run on high priority anymore.

I used to get batches of 10 that would all fail after 17 seconds. I tried resetting the project and it seems to work again. It doesn't even run on high priority anymore.

Probably because resetting also resets the DCF back to default value of 1.0.
If that is the case it may go back to priority (AKA EDF or Panic) mode after first unit has completed.

Could this be caused bythe present uploading problem I'm having.

I can only add a similar error report for 6.06:

I received today ten workunits together with the new app setiathome_6.06_windows_intelx86__cuda.exe. The first two workunits were finished after a few seconds with exit code 1 (0x1) according to BoincView (they are still in the upload queue and not sent to / received by the server).

The third workunits is now still running, but:

• the GPU-bound task is apparently running without any CPU load according to Windows taskmanager
  
• the progress bar in BM is increasing but the CPU time is stuck at 00:00:16, which is exactly the same value with which the first two workunits were finished. This value is also shown in Windows taskmanager
  
• the remaining time in BM is decreasing (now 43 min.)
  
• the GPU is running only with 2D low clock at 300/100/600 MHz instead of 650/1050/1400 MHz, so either there are no calculations or they are running very slow
  

This is with Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit, BOINC 6.3.21 64bit, Forceware 180.48 64bit and with two CPU-bound tasks running on the dualcore CPU (currently RCN and/or Docking). The GPU is a GTX260-216.

After the Tuesday outage I could upload. The two workunits, which were finished within a few seconds (mentioned in the previous post), are now shown in the task details with a "SETI@Home Informational message -9 result_overflow, NOTE: The number of results detected exceeds the storage space allocated." - message. Hmmm...

resultid=5047863
resultid=5047763

The other finished workunits appear to be fine according to the task details so far, however, there's no validation until now and please remember the strange behaviour described in my previous post.

Additional note: I noticed now that I can raise the GPU clock to the normal 3D-mode levels when starting CUDA-Z. As a result there is also some CPU usage by setiathome_6.06_windows_intelx86__cuda.exe in the Windows taskmanager, approx. ~ 1 %. Odd. This should be triggered by the CUDA application itself, shouldn't it?

I don't really know what is going on here, but there is some kind of problem with 6.06.

Regards
Alex

... and Merry Christmas to y'all !!

More VLAR errors. Once they get to about 20-21% they either error out right away, or they get stuck and won't run no matter what and have to be aborted. Typical sparkly screen but no BSOD's so far.

It seems error appears in random places on this host.
Maybe GPU overheating?....

After my last two post the rest of my task were all "NOTE: The number of results detected exceeds the storage space allocated." as far as I can tell.

Yeah, it's time to stop master database pollution...
Just imagine:that outnumbered result could be The Signal ...

I returned a task earlier today and the granted credit was zero, yet when I cliecked on the WU ID for more details it says it was suppressed until completed. WU ID #1577432 (Task ID if that makes it easier is #5117653, I run Windows XP using BOINC v6.2.19.

Look at the Workunit page, notice that no canonical result has been chosen yet, so no credit can be granted.

Disregard the "Valid" indication on Task detail pages, it is now meaningless but we hope someone will fix that sometime.

I have just been looking back through WU's There still seems to be a difference between 6.06 and other WU's 5.28 6.03 in credits claiming granted. Is this going to be fixed or left. I have also seen this over on Main.
